Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current bonds. This approach can support work on family dynamics, intimacy-related concerns, and healing from relational wounds.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathleen works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time based on what is most helpful.
